Scaling

[Tom Servinsky]

Dale, Ron
So....after all the bantering back and forth, I've learned a few things. Thank to all!!  You guys are wealth of information.
My initial gut feeling ( I think) was correct after all, in that this was too much tension for this instrument.

    Got it.  SO the message now is... don't' assume anything! Now I'm curious about the overall scale tension of this model.  I've frankly always been a fan of the 500. What do I know
    Dale:
    For the record, this Kawai had all sizes in American. All wire sizes were accurate with American measurements. 
    When I initially evaluated the instrument and saw the #14 at the top, my first inclination was to assume that it was a #13.5 string.
    I have done a number of Kawai's and Yamaha's in the past were the size measurement were 1/2 size larger in all cases. Thus, my curiosity as to why this was different raised several concerns. Could this have been a mistake from the factory?
    Or could this be the result of another technician miss-reading the initial readings and stringing with incorrect sizes?
